ABC daytime show
‘Revolution’ gets cut
Q. Is there any chance “The Revolution”
might be back? I like the hosts, Josh Elliott and Lara Spencer, when they’re on
“Good Morning America,” but “Good Afternoon America” is a bit too much of the
entertainment portion of the news.
A. This question refers not to the NBC
series “Revolution,” which was promoted
mercilessly during coverage of the Olympics, but the daytime show ABC tried out
after jettisoning a couple of its daytime
soaps. The lifestyle series did not appeal
to viewers, and was dropped in July in
favor of a short run for “Good Afternoon
America.” Speaking of which ...
Q. I was surprised to read in your mailbag
that come Sept. 10 I will not be able to see
“Good Afternoon America.” You said that
the soap opera “General Hospital” will be
at that time. Why? Where will “Good Afternoon America” be in the lineup?

PREVIOUS DAY’S SOLUTION

CRYPTOQUOTE

A. “GAA” was announced as a nine-week
series, basically filling the 2 p.m. weekday
time slot after the demise of “The Revolution,” but only until “General Hospital”
moves into it. (“GH” is being moved to
make a place for Katie Couric’s new series, which will air at 3 p.m. weekdays on
many ABC stations.) But while “GAA’s”
departure in September was preordained,
ABC has reportedly considered bringing it
back down the road — assuming the network is happy with “GAA’s” performance
and something else falls by the wayside.

HOROSCOPE
BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Don’t get

stressed out about the idea of following
your intuition by wondering which internal voice is the right one. Intuition often
comes in the form of curiosity or interest. Follow that, and you’ll be psychically
connected.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Beware of
unguarded sharing. You won’t trust
those who give too much information,
and others won’t trust you if you tell stories that aren’t yours to tell. Loose lips
sink ships.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You will sense

that there is absolutely nothing to be
gained by trying to be liked and selfless.
You’ll take care of your own needs and
pursue what delights you.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have
been neglecting what you want, afraid
of making others uncomfortable. What
if you don’t ask for what’s reasonable?
What if you ask for more than you think
you deserve? You just might get it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Do you have the
sense that someone is messing with
you? It might help you to pretend like
this person is playing the kind of elaborate game that makes life worth living.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will be
strongly protective of your loved ones

and will, in your own calm, controlled
way, leap to their defense given the least
provocation. Do the same for yourself.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Even though the
demands on you are not loud or harsh,
they are still abundant. So be as generous and helpful as you want to be, but
also know where to draw the line.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). For all of your
resistance to the work, you still get it
done. So why resist it at all? Submit to
the inevitable, and you just might find
that you’re actually enjoying it.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Some
days, the hours run like a low-grade
fever, irritating in their development;
everything makes you mad. Moods like
that are signals that it’s time to rest.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When you

are very clear about why you want to do
something, your choices become more
obvious. Just rule out everything that
goes against your “why.”
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your inner
drive will be stoked by external events
that seem to rally you forward. The
attention you get is a reward in itself.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). By reading
about and experiencing the company of
people who are different from you, you
get more clarity about who you are.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 7). You’ll
get another chance at a dream that’s
not been realized. You’ll be considerably
more creative in October. Your lucky
numbers are: 50, 2, 23, 15 and 19.
